A Westmont woman has been charged with stabbing her husband to death
during an argument at the couple’s home Friday, officials said.
According to a press release from DuPage County State’s Attorney Robert B. Berlin, Lisa Davis, 42, of the 500 block of West 51st Street, has been charged with first degree murder in the death of her husband David, 49.
About 7:29 p.m. Friday, Westmont police responded to a 911 call at
the couple’s home and found David Davis bleeding from a knife wound to
the right side of his abdomen, the release said. Davis was transported
to a local hospital, where he died at 11:36 p.m.
Lisa Davis was arrested at
the scene, the release said, and has been in custody ever since.
Officials said that she and her husband had gotten into a “verbal
altercation” and that she subsequently stabbed him with a kitchen knife.
According to the release, Lisa Davis will appear in bond court at 8 a.m. Monday at the DuPage County Jail.

I hope she rots in jail for this, David had a heart of gold. He was forever helping family and friends, and never once did he raise a hand to Lisa. She was the abusive one in this relationship. My prayers are with all who felt his loss.
